Zeus

Zeus is a Deity — the storm-king who rules the wide sky from high summits. His presence is read like weather: the air smells sharply of ozone and cold rain-wet stone; the sound is a rolling, authoritative thunder that organizes lesser noises into silence; temperature shifts in electric pulses, a bristling static that prickles skin and makes hair lift. In the field one notes the sweep of cloud like armor, the keen silhouette of an eagle cutting the light, and the way light itself seems to edge into a blue-white clarity when he draws near.
